NBR: What do you think?

B!tchBeckman

for the wedding, my aunt is making our cake. We chose Red Velvet.

She just emailed me asking if this would be a filling for the cake I would want. What do you think? Would it taste scrumptious with it?

White Chocolate Strawberry ganache
Serves/Yields: about 2 cups
Prep. Time: 5 min. plus cool down time
Cook Time: none
Category: Fillings
Difficulty: Moderate


Introduction
I wanted to make a chocolate ganache filling and realized I only had
one package of chocolate chips. But I DID have a 12 oz. package of
WHITE chips. So, I fighured I would use the chocolate with the
chocolate layer , and use the white chips with the white cake.
Ingredients
1 12 oz. Package white chocolate chips
8 oz. heavy whipping cream, scalded
1 Tbs. of softened butter
1/2 package Strawberry or Raspberry jello ( I would think any flavor
of your choosing would do )
Directions
1. Pour white chips into medium sized bowl. ( I use metal because it
seems to hasten the cooling process.
2. Heat 8 oz. of heavy whipping cream to the boiling point.
3.Pour cream and sprinkle about 1/2 package of jello ( your choice)
over chips. Let stand for a couple of minutes, then stir until chips
are melted.
4. Place bowl into refrigerator until cooled and thickened ( can be
placed in freezer if you are in a hurry.
5. Whip with mixer until thick and fluffy enough to spread between
cake layers.....

Since Red velvet is a cherry/chocolate cake, I highly doubt you want a white chocolate and strawberry filling.

I just always think that red velvet cake should have cream cheese icing...

white chocolate sounds yummy... but I don't know that I'd do the strawberry part.

This.

 

Anything other than cream cheese icing=   IMO.

I've never seen or heard of a cherry red velvet cake.  They are chocolate cake dyed red, no cherry flavoring involved.  I would still pass on the fruity filling and opt for just a white chocolate...YUM

We had red velvet cake for our wedding too. It's weird how it's red, but tastes like chocolate. I'd say go with cream cheese filling YUMMO

Oh, and everytime I see/hear about red velvet cakes at weddings it makes me think of the armadillo grooms cake in Steel Magnolias...
